David Britton is Head of English and Professor of Dramaturgy at Swansea University. His plays have won high acclaim. Kamil and Francis (Richard Burton Theatre Cardiff; 2019) was acclaimed by Theatre Wales as “dynamic and absorbing. Every truth runs parallel with the political ethnic and religious divisions that beset us today.” His five-part BBC drama about the composer William Byrd, starring David Suchet, was widely lauded and his version of Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure (Sherman Cymru) gained a four star review in The Guardian. Other successful recent stage works include the bi-lingual Windsongs of the Blessed Bay; The Wizard the Goat and the Man Who Won the War; Pembroke Arcadia; Old Peter’s Russian Tales, and Silverglass.
